House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) cried again on the House floor today, this time while delivering a floor speech on the Iraq funding bill.

While the issue was serious and somber, this is getting to be something of a habit for the Ohio Republican. One of his GOP colleagues noted that Boehner cries more often later in the day. Go figure, eh.

Here's the video, and thanks to our friends at thinkprogress.org for the link.

Boehner should be crying a bloody trail of tears, not only in the evening, but in the morning and at noon. Maybe he has more emotion than conscience. He can sob from now until September. Maybe his river of tears will change when the occupation of Iraq is ended and our men and women scapegoats in uniform are back home.
